<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nets president Rod Thorn has made "several offers" to free agents, including point guard Milt Palacio, according to a Nets source.
After losing point guard Keyon Dooling to Orlando last week, the Nets hope to land two role players with some of their $5 million mid-level exception while saving maybe half of it for a potential amnesty clause casualty like Allan Houston, Michael Finley or Brian Grant.

Palacio, who played for Toronto last season, is the man the Nets want to back up Jason Kidd. Other free agents the Nets likely have made offers to include Indiana power forward Dale Davis and Houston guard Jon Barry. The Nets, who have had discussions with Portland's Damon Stoudamire as well, will wait until late next month to see which high-priced veterans will be released under the new clause in the collective bargaining agreement that allows teams to save luxury tax.</div>

Milt 'MVP' Palacio makes the Nets an automatic championship lock. Truly the greatest of all time.

I was so excited to see them get Dooling, despite the fact that I'm a Sixers fan. If they get Dale Davis, I can definitely see them contending for a finals spot.
 
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease get him. I remember when the Nets played him one game, he had a great game.
 
I used to hate Palacio ever since this happen:

The Nets are up by two, about three seconds remaining. To win, all they need to do is inbound the ball and hold it. Lucios Harris inbounds. Palacio steals the ball, runs, falls, chucks up a shot (five feet outside of the three point line), and the Nets lose.

That occurred in the season prior to Kidd's arrival. If the Nets get Palacio, I shall forgive him.

Er.. The last time I checked Dooling is going to sign with the Magic.

Anyway.. where would Milt be without Vince? He'd be in the NBDL.

Milt was a Celtic then, that was during the Steph era where everything went wrong for us ...Palacio had some good games against us with the Raptors to even after Kidd came..I can remember a few 14-15 point nights against us...anyway I dont really want him, much rather just go after a combo guard like Jon Barry. But it seems as tho, Palacio is very much interested in coming to Jersey. And the Nets have him listed high because he is cheap to obtain...I think that is the only reason Rod Thorn is going after him so hard...Barry would take up to much of the MLE. And Chris Duhon is looking for more money then Palacio as well, and is likely going back to Chicago. So that leaves Palacio.

u seem to know an awful lot about the workings of rod thorns mind??

are u working for the nets or just throwing out random reasons why unsubstantiated rumours may be true???

thx for your help in advance
 
I don't like Milt, think he's worse than Jacque Vaughn. I heard that Milt's one of VC's best friends and is one of the reasons NJ has been looking at him...

I read that the Nets were thinking about signing Jannero Pargo. I like that prospect better than Milt because he's a better shooter, overall offensive game and can play some 2.

Nah, I dont work for the Nets but the way I look at is simple process of elimnation from reading articles and following the offseason news very closely...everybody knows that the Nets 1st choice was Keyon Dooling..but he opted for the Magic. So that left the Nets with limited options and three big holes to fill backup pg, a shooter, and another bigman. The Nets now want Dale Davis...which means they will have to take the cheaper route when getting a backup for Kidd, that means the likes of Earl Watson, Damon Stoudmire are out. Barry is most likely out as well because of money reasons...so that leaves you with the low tier guys like Palacio, Pargo, Blake. And out of those guys Nets seem to view Palacio in the highest regard probably because of the way he has played against us in his career. he has had some good showings.

Plus I read an article that the Nets are trying to save a little money left over so they can go after one of those big name cuts that will happen under the new collective bargining agreement....right now the name Allan Houston is floating around alot.
 
wow ....its amazing how much unsubstantiated information you can get from articles from sportswriters like stephen "a" smith and chad "BS" ford

i thought your sources might have been people who actually knew anything about the topic they were writing about (i.e team officials)

Coming from the same person that said Andray Blatche would be picked in the lottery for sure.

Milt is the man, people hate on him too much, but he's really sick. I don't know hwat use he would be to the Nets though except that he'll be at Vince's house bothering him all the time lol.
 
Lol. I keep thinking of Milt as Vince's sidekick. Or like some kind of annoying kid that always tags along trying to be like him.

But seriously though, I think this signing creates a dynasty for the next few years.

BTW, Terminator X, why you acting like such a punk?

Why, where do you get your sources Terminator-X? Coming from someone who said Blatche would be in the lottery, I'd guess that you just make them up for the hell of it. Most people on this site DO get their sources from ESPN, Hoopshype or Insidehoops, and generally, these sources are fairly accurate.

But...I'm not surprised at hearing this crap from the same guy who got all pissed because of the Gerald Green dunk and people thought he should be in the dunk contest, or the guy that made a thread about RJ being gay because that's what he heard on "the street", or from the guy who thought Blatche would go in the lottery. You're acting like a punk on this site and I hope you get kicked.

I think it's maybe because your Sixers are going to be terrible next year, and will likely miss the platoffs. Anyway, next time think before you act like a jerk to a member on the Nets forum, especially a moderator.

BTW what was that little crack about stephen "a" smith about? Was that an insult? B/c his name is stephen a smith. I don't get it.
